Etherchannel bandwidth ?

[ciscosom]

We have configured Etherchannel to bind 3 Fiber ports that are trunked btw 6509 & 4507. I can see all the three ports part of the Etherchannel/portchannel. But my concern is when i check output for: -

"Sh int portchannel 1" , i noticed the speed shows 1000\Mbps , i was expecting it to be 3000\Mbps . Can you experts throw some light on this ?

Regards

if u consider the port channel applied to all three ports then

1000 + 1000 + 1000 = ? right :)

if helpful rate

good luck

Thanks for your response Marwanshawi , Can you let me know what else needs to be done apart from the below configuration to get 3GB Speed in "SH ports -channel output "?

have u seen the line in us show command

MTU 1500 bytes, BW 3000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec

this is bandwidth " BW 3000000 Kbit "

is that what u look for ?!

Oops ,, I was thinking the speed would increase (silly me ) , thank you so much for setting me straight . Appreciate your help
